Maybe its just required for heavy populated areas? I dunno...

it depends what county you are in

well for some reason, mine wouldn't show EGR flow, could have been the fact that it was in Neutral instead of drive. But besides that one, the catalytic converter efficiency is the only other one that wont say ready either. I had to erase P0401 yesterday, so all my systems reset, hopefully by the time i drive home after work today, they're ready. I'll let you know.

interesting....wonder if I'll pass next month when my inspection is up (NYs test is every year).

I live in Granite City, just east of st louis and i had mine done last year, i failed the first time due to a bad o2 sensor, the guy there checked under my car because it was loud, he wanted to make sure my cat was still there.

I passed Emissions today, with the P0401 Disabled, EGR plugged in, but not connected to exhaust/intake manifolds. 2 systems still said not ready, but as said in my first post, 00' and earlier that qualifies :)

Good luck to the rest of you!
